I didn't say the quote below, although I did respond to that thread. DRM doesn't bother me with iTunes, and although I did say that artists get about 7-10 cents on the dollar for songs sold on average, I'm sure that there are a few artists who have better deals with their artists. Still, since Apple has nothing at all to do with the music outside of distributing, they end up with the lion's share of the money. Which is why I inherently like the Warp approach more. I'd rather the label and artist split the $1.35 minus expenses instead of both getting $.10 ;D derek
